I don't think there are many spammers compared to, say, 2005.

In 2005 you would get 100 spams to an unfiltered, widely published address, these days it is more like 2-5.

The continued lockdowns and protocol changes of gmail and yahoo are a sign of being overstaffed, "feature" oriented and yes, the attempt to shut down competition and the free exchange of mail.
